Bloody Hell! My Band Has Its First Gig A Week Today!!!
« on: April 14, 2010, 11:50:30 PM »
Tonight was the last rehearsal before The Fallen Poets take to the stage in a pub in Southend next Wednesday!!!

Was a good rehearsal too...  Got to try out my Renegade, and it sounded awesome.  The songs were right, timing was good, mix was good...

Haven't gigged for about 20 years though...  Cacking myself?

I just listened to your band. I like it.
in my sleepy haze I imagined it with galloping drums spending ages to build up into a huge loud crescendo like some bands I can't remember the name of. I know its not exactly like that, but rest assured in my head it was awesome. Not that it isn't awesome to begin with, mind.

That's cool, just think of it as putting all of your practise into good use. I'm sure once you start playing it will all be good. Break a leg! :lol:

Well, that was the gig.

Not bad, all things considered.  cr@p venue, cr@p PA, only one mic stand, no foldback monitors...  Very "studenty", a garage band on before us.  But we did OK, given that it was hardly more professional than an open mic night.

Next stop, the Box Club in Chelmsford!

Sweating like a b@stard though...
